Welcome to another OPOW, your playlist of great discoveries. Some songs will be old. Some songs will be new. Overall, these songs will make your weekends greater. Here are your five songs for this week!

Sia “Alive”


After she swung her “Chandelier” with an “Elastic Heart”, Sia has returned to us “Alive.” Released last year, “Alive” is about going through obstacles but coming back stronger than better. This dance pop song is inspirational for anyone who has or is going through a rough time. If you feel like you are about to give up, stand up and sing “Alive.” It will let everyone know that you’re still here.

Macklamore & Ryan Lewis “White Privilege II (ft. Jamila Woods)”


Uploaded from his official soundcloud, rapper Macklamore releases his single “White Privilege II.” The song talks about how white supremacy affects racial issues from Black Lives Matters to cultural appropriation. What makes this song interesting is Macklamore acknowledges his white privilege and expresses what he wants to change for the better. Songs like “White Privilege II” provide a bigger discussion on race. While “White Privilege II” is not the first song to acknowledge white supremacy, let’s hope it is not the last song tackling this subject.

Beyoncé “Formation”


Should this song have an explanation? From surprising everyone with a beautifully crafted music video to singing a ground-breaking performance at 2016’s Super Bowl, Beyoncé has once again slayed everyone with her single, “Formation.” This song expresses being Black and proud. “Formation” is the song of the moment for its memorable one-liners (“Jackson Five nostrils,” “My daddy Alabama. My mother Louisiana,” the list goes on and on) and an addicting beat. If you rock this song good, Beyoncé might even take you to Red Lobster. Now, let’s get in “Formation.”

Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up”


You’ve been Rick Rolled.


Infinite “The Chaser”


Released in 2012 from their album Infinitize, Korean boy group Infinite impresses audience with their hit song, “The Chaser.” “The Chaser” is about parting ways with a lover, but the song’s protagonist promises to return to their lover and reclaim their love. The song’s synth sounds and electric pop beats will make you feel like you’re in an epic music video or attempt to learn their choreography (no, seriously. It’s pretty hard.)

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
